“…Examples include reports of negative self-statements and states of mind [17], self-focused attention and negative review of past events in social anxiety [18][19][20], thought-listed worry episodes [21], and coping strategies [22]. Such reports obviously involve a high degree of conscious awareness, and, like all self-reports, are subject to social desirability and other reporting biases.…”

“…In other words, anxiety can interfere with some aspects of cognition, but cognitive deficits can also contribute to anxiety. Anxiety has been found to interfere with positive reappraisals that children need to cope with negative emotion [15,22]. High levels of anxiety can also impair overall cognitive performance, though mild levels of anxiety are motivating and can enhance cognitive performance [30].…”

IntroductionIn the past decade, the literature on cognition in anxious children has expanded rapidly. New To ensure a thorough review of relevant findings, a search of PubMed was undertaken using the search words "cognition", "anxiety", and "children". As this search yielded several hundred papers, only those published within the past 10 years were retrieved.Key citations within these retrieved papers were also obtained, including some from the psychological literature. Thus, this paper represents a selective rather than exhaustive review with emphasis on recent findings. All COGNITIVE FINDINGS IN CHILDHOOD ANXIETY: TRANSLATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE AbstractBackground: The study of cognition in anxious children (i.e., those with anxiety disorders and those with high trait anxiety) is a burgeoning field. Cognitive biases towards encoding threatening information, interpreting stimuli as threatening, and selecting avoidant responses have been found to affect these children, and in some cases their parents too. These biases as well as certain cognitive abilities and deficits have been related to childhood anxiety and its treatment. Given the plethora of recent findings, implications for the practicing clinician are not always obvious. Methods: Using a review of recent medical literature, this paper summarizes key findings and examines potential links to clinical practice. Results: The need to appreciate the reciprocal relationship between anxiety and cognition is highlighted (i.e., anxiety can contribute to cognitive biases and deficits, but cognitive problems can also contribute to anxiety). Cognitive factors can also predict poor response to traditional treatments, and thus suggest modifications of treatment that may benefit some children. Treatments focused on cognitive biases are gaining popularity, but their role in the treatment of anxious children and in relation to other anxiety treatments merits further study. Conclusion: Recent cognitive findings enhance our clinical understanding of anxious children, and may suggest ways of tailoring evidence-based treatments to best meet the needs of children with diverse cognitive profiles and developmental needs.

Background: Resiliency is a very important component in chronic diseases like cancer. Therefore, investigating factors affecting resiliency seems to be necessary. The current study investigates the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) and resiliency, on one hand, and the CERS role in predicting resiliency, on the other hand, among the studied population. Methods: In a correlational method, 121 patients with advanced cancer, who have hospitalized in January 2015 to July 2015 in ALA cancer prevention and control center, were selected. Instruments include the Garnefski-Alt cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire and Connor-Davidson resilience inventory. Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis with SPSS 20. Results: Findings indicate that regression model is significant and CERS can predict 95% of resiliency in the level of 99%. Also, adaptive strategies can explain resiliency's changes (62%) more than maladaptive strategies (40%) in this group. In the regression model, more use of refocus on planning, putting in to perspective, acceptance and positive refocusing as well as less use of catastrophizing, positive reappraisal, self-blame, and other-blame can predict resilience strongly. Among these strategies, catastrophizing and refocus on planning were common strategies contributing to resilience. Conclusions: These findings suggested that emotion regulation strategies chosen by patients with advanced cancer can effect on their resiliency's status. This issue might help us to determine potential targets for applying psychotherapeutic interventions based on CERS education in order to improve resiliency in this group.

“…Keough et al findings (2015) indicated that people with high social anxiety use emotion-focused coping style to reduce their anxiety. Apparently, people with anxiety disorders compared to normal people are more likely to think about their feelings about negative events and less concerned how to control those events (Legerstee, Garnefski, Jellesma, Verhulst, & Utens, 2009). …”

Objective:The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relation of coping styles and attachment styles with social anxiety among high-school students. Methods:The present study was correlational research. Study population comprised all male and female students of Kashan high schools. A total of 440 students (196 males and 244 females, aged from 17 to 18 years in the third or fourth grade of Kashan high schools (academic year 2015-2016) were selected by cluster sampling method. Data were gathered using social phobia inventory, coping inventory for stressful situation, and adult attachment inventory. For analyzing the data, analysis of regression method were used.Results: There were significant correlations between the social anxiety problem-focused coping style (r=-0.16, P<0.05), emotion-focused coping style (r=0.40, P<0.01), and avoidance coping style (r=0.03, N.S). Moreover, results indicated correlations between social anxiety with secure attachment style (r=-0.10, P<0.05), avoidant attachment style (r=0.23, P<0.01) and ambivalent attachment style (r=0.26, P<0.01), too. Coping styles (emotion-focused and problem-focused styles) predicted 19% variation of social anxiety and attachment styles, 11% variation of social anxiety. Conclusion:Results of this study support the role of coping styles and attachment styles in social anxiety and show that maladaptive coping strategies predispose people to social anxiety. Also, insecure-ambivalent attachment people are vulnerable to social anxiety.
